Product Overview

GE Fanuc IC697CPX935 is a single-slot, 96 MHz Series 90-70 central processing unit with 32-bit floating-point execution, 1 Mbyte of battery-backed fast CMOS user memory, and 256 Kbytes of optional non-volatile user flash memory. The CPU installs in slot 1 of rack 0 and communicates with Series 90-70 I/O and option modules through the rack backplane.

This is the fast-memory 1 Mbyte CPX model. Do not select it only by front-panel appearance: record the complete catalog number, hardware suffix, firmware release, user-memory image, rack configuration, serial-port use, and installed option modules before replacement.

Serial Ports and Protocol Limits

Port Electrical interface Protocol notes
Port 1 RS-232 compatible, 6-pin female RJ-11 SNP Slave; Break-Free SNP supported from firmware release 8.00
Port 2 RS-485 compatible, isolated, 15-pin female D-connector SNP Slave; Break-Free SNP supported from firmware release 8.00
Port 3 RS-485 compatible, non-isolated, 15-pin female D-connector SNP Slave only

The CPU datasheet lists no SNPX or RTU support on these three ports. Ethernet programming requires a separate IC697 Ethernet interface such as IC697CMM741 or IC697CMM742; the CPU does not provide an onboard Ethernet port.

Memory, Firmware, and Replacement Checks

  • Back up the program, configuration, register data, and fault tables before removing the installed CPU.
  • Record the firmware release. Bulk Memory Area support begins with release 7.92; serial-port Load/Store, Datagrams, and default Break-Free SNP behavior on Ports 1 and 2 begin with release 8.00.
  • Confirm the existing software can recognize and configure the replacement CPU and its firmware.
  • Verify the complete rack and module configuration. The CPU checks the physical configuration at power-up and during operation.
  • IC660/IC661 I/O through the appropriate bus controller and IC697 discrete or analog I/O are supported. That does not make every Series 90-70 CPU or option module a drop-in substitute.

Battery and Environmental Limits

Parameter Limit
Replacement battery IC697ACC701 lithium battery
Battery shelf life 5 years at 20°C (68°F)
Memory retention without rack power 6 months nominal
Normal operating range 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F) at full rack power without forced air
Operation from 50 to 60°C Use 70 CFM forced air for full rack power, or limit total rack power to 70 W without forced air
Time-of-day clock accuracy 3.5 seconds per day maximum
Elapsed-time clock accuracy 0.01% maximum

Install the new battery before disconnecting the old battery. Turn rack power off before inserting or removing the CPU.

Dimensions and Shipping Reference

Historical Series 90-70 module listings place the enclosure at approximately 44 × 292 × 222 mm (width × height × depth). Some listings report 38 × 216 × 292 mm because the last two axes are presented in a different order and the face width is measured differently. Published weights also vary by measurement method. The current store logistics record is 1.0 kg.

For air-freight planning, use an estimated package size of 350 × 280 × 100 mm and an estimated gross weight of 1.3 kg. These are packing estimates, not OEM product specifications. Warehouse measurements and the final protective packaging take precedence.

FAQ

What distinguishes IC697CPX935 from other Series 90-70 CPUs?

IC697CPX935 combines a 96 MHz 80486DX4 processor with floating-point execution, 1 Mbyte of battery-backed fast CMOS user RAM, 256 Kbytes of user flash, three serial ports, up to 12K discrete I/O points and up to 8K analog I/O. Confirm the complete catalog number and firmware release; other CPX and CGR CPUs have different memory sizes, redundancy roles or I/O limits.

Which rack slot and power budget does IC697CPX935 require?

Install the CPU in slot 1 of rack 0. It draws 3.1 A nominal from the 5 V backplane bus, so include 15.5 W of 5 V load in the rack power calculation. Turn rack power off before inserting or removing the module.

What serial interfaces are on IC697CPX935?

Port 1 is RS-232 compatible on a 6-pin RJ-11 connector. Port 2 is an isolated RS-485 interface on a 15-pin D-connector. Port 3 is a non-isolated RS-485 interface on a 15-pin D-connector. All three support SNP Slave; Break-Free SNP on Ports 1 and 2 requires firmware release 8.00 or later.

What must be backed up before replacing IC697CPX935?

Back up the PLC program, hardware configuration, register data, fault tables and any site-specific commissioning records. Record the installed hardware suffix, firmware release, option modules, bus controllers, serial-port use and memory-protect settings before removal.

Are the package dimensions and shipping weight OEM specifications?

No. The page identifies historical module dimensions separately from an estimated air-freight package of 350 × 280 × 100 mm and estimated gross weight of 1.3 kg. Warehouse measurements and the final protective packing take precedence for freight quotations.
